| Lumière Scout Box with Rollei RPX 400 |
For last weekend's '
Take Your Box Camera to Play Day', I reverted to using
Lumière Scout Box rather than the
Kodak No.2 Brownie as I had done last year; the Scout Box seems to give better results, despite there being less controls (the Brownie does have three aperture settings). With the Scout Box being more compact than the Brownie, I used the Brownie's case, as the camera fitted in the case with enough space for three cartons of medium format film, plus room to slip a yellow filter in the side.
I shot three rolls of
Rollei RPX 400 for its good latitude to guard against variations in conditions, and shot most of the interiors using the 'pneumatique' or time setting, balancing the camera on any available flat surface while holding the shutter open for long exposures. All rolls were developed in R09 One Shot diluted 1+25.

Nice work with the Lumiere! Sure seems like the ISO 400 film was just right for indoors/overcast shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks - the RPX 400 worked well with the long exposures indoors which I just estimated - and showed the Lumiere lens to be fairly good for a simple box camera.
